Have looked fairly thoroughly for about 2 days with no success.
I got the OTA update and realized too late that I've lost my wifi tether capability.
Currently, I have a stock Raze Maxx was using foxfi
I also have a Nook Tablet setup for dual boot via SD into cm7 (this is the device needing connectivity)
The Nook doesn’t have Bluetooth, and a USB option will not fit my needs so wifi is the only option.
Question:
Is there a way to accomplish this without rooting my moto?
I’ve checked for existing solutions, no luck. The only idea I’ve got is maybe if I can get my cm7 hosting a hotspot (without internet), then connect with my moto and then somehow access the internet that way.
Will this work?
If so, any suggestions of software to potentially use?

Does anyone manage to get USB tether working using any one of the ROM?
This was touched on briefly in another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842842), but mostly on wifi tether, and I have not seen any recent posts on this topic. I want to use the gtablet for school and work and USB tethering would be an absolute necessity; any help and assistance on this would be most apprecative.
There are only drivers for Windows, Mac and Linux for USB tether, so doubtful it would work. I tried it anyway, even though I knew the result. Still can not get wifi tether to work.

Sorry, I've been swamped last few days... well the last month actually... but Send me your current /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf file as I can use your current saved networks to build you a working set of files for wifi tether... I'll PM you my email in case I didn't already...
I'm not sure what usb host support has been built so far. My understanding is that in theory the linux network driver should be able to be used in android with some work ofcourse.
I'm not going to root my Gtablet right away so I'll have to wait to see if someone figures out how to wire/wireless tether while it's stock. My rooted Droid 1 is getting bored. LOL

I know this is an old thread, I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with USB tethering at all.
+1 interest in this, or bluetooth tethering. My company is PCI compliant and has wifi blockers all over the building
does ad-hoc run over the same frequencies as wifi?
Client devices that use ad-hoc wifi are licensed for the same FCC spectrum as devices that only use infrastructure wifi, so that makes me assume they use the same frequencies.
I'm only aware of two tethering solutions on android yet, but i'm a noob so there may be more:
1) the wpa supplicant patch. This allows the Android device to tether as a client to another adhoc wifi sharing device.
2) pdanet. This allows the Android device to tether as a server to another non-android client, via bluetooth or USB.
So far, nothing I've seen supports USB tethering client on Android. For now, with your use case I'd recommend a more mature OS like WinXP. With the right software, WinXP can serve as a USB tether client to most modern phones.
Bump...
Would like to be able to USB tether when honeycomb comes out. But would be awesome if it happened earlier.
second that request. USB tethering is so much easier than WiFi hotspotting, not to mention it's free with my current T-mobile plan
Same here. I use ICS via USB tethering from my HTC Touch Diamond to my PC and will get a gTablet when I can use it similarly as a client.
i second this
All of us married folk who are pushed for both time and money (but are still tech adventurous) would love some clear directions (or a script or app) for tethering to their DUN capable regular phones by either BT or USB.
Many thanks in advance to whoever takes up the challenge...
G tablet currently running vegan beta5.1
I concur on this. I use PDAnet with my original droid to tether to laptop. Unfortunately, PDAnet can't be used on Vegan Ginger which I am running on my gTab. Any help would be much appreciated!

From my searching thru Google I found out that the original Droid can bluetooth tether to the Xoom. Not to sure what gives the ability for that to happen but it works. If it's code specific then maybe some tinkering with that might get it to work but if it's hardware specific..again I'm just throwing it out there.
BT tethering is very doable depending on your phone. I use PDANET on my Droid X.
For some deeper info (including a script to get it started on the G-Tab) Look here:

Hey all. So i've had my A70 for about a week now, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to get this tethered to my phone. I have a Moto Cliq rooted with j_rodd's custom firmware that supports netfilter. I have Wireless Tether app installed and it works fine (I have connected it to my PC and tethered over WiFi).
But for some reason my A70 pairs with the Cliq, but no connection is established. It doesn't see it in the list of paired and tethering capable devices, and there is no way to make the A70 see my Cliq.
I wonder if ther is some way to manually enter the APN info. So far, it only allows me to enter that info if I select USB tethering, but not Bluetooth.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I bought this device because I knew I would be able to tether it. Without that functionality, it really isn't worthwhile for me to keep.
Thx in advance.
Before I buy a G-tablet, one of my major requirement is to be able to tether via my WM6.1 phones (htc mogul and htc 8525).
The 3 options from the WM phones are 1) built-in DUN USB 2) built-in DUN BT 3) WMwifirouter.
I've been digging through the xda forums and it seems like there are no standard ways to use any of these 3 options.
Specifically:
For USB method, android does not have the required drivers.
For BT method, android does not have a built-in BT tether profile.
For wifirouter, android does not allow ad-hoc wifi connections.
There are some work around threads, like for ad-hoc wifi tether the kyros tablet is doing this with limited success:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860489
for BT tether, seems like the archos tablets has a BT profile built-in:

Do anyone have a work-around or solution for the G-tablet?
Sorry if this thread is a repeat.
btw, its a bit difficult searching for this because most threads are about tether FROM an android device. In this case, we need to tether TO an android device.
I tether with wmwifirouter without problems using a touch pro 2 on sprint.
The G tablet will connect via ad-hoc with an easy fix, if you do a search on the forums there's an update zip you can apply to stock to enable it, or all the custom ROM's have the ability built in. I use mine daily running on my Droid 1 using wireless tether.
I am running stock 3389 with the gapps enhancement, and once I rooted my work droid x and installed wifi tether, my gtab found it with no issues and connected to it once i set up the wep key. Now I have to see what Verizon is going to do if my account on our corporate account exceeds some sort of data limit since we are not paying them for the wifi tethering/high data rate for my one account. Others have been upgraded accordingly as need arises, so I guess I will see what happens.

PdaNet tethering on my jailbroken iPhone 3g works after I flashed VEGAn-TAB GINGEREDITION on my G tab. My G tab had no problem recognizing PdaNet on my iPhone. Woohoo!
I am also looking for a solution tethering my blackberry bold to gtab. I had tried several methods but no luck so far. We probably need BT tether profile for Gtab. Not sure if someone can porting Archos' BT profile to gtab.
Seems I need to set up the android phone to act as a wifi hotspot. I am using a Viewpoint gtab with Vegan 5.1. I am guessing the the gtab is ready to receive/interact, but the phone needs something.
I have DL easy-tether for the phone and it asks me to DL for the "computer" offering Windows, Mac, Unbuntu and Fedora.
If I have easy-tether on my andriod phone (Motorolo Atrexx), is that enough to establish a connection with the gtab? If so, how? If not, what do I need to do?
The phone has not been flashed with a new rom.
Ok, I have a new Acer Iconia A200 tablet. It's WiFi only. My DX2 is running CM7 with the tethering patch applied.
The question is this: how can I USB tether my tablet with my phone? I have seen plenty of articles about phone to laptop/PC running XP/W7/Mac OS/Linux but nothing about Android to Android, particularly with USB. I know how to turn on the tethering on the phone. The tablet has both host and slave USB ports.
As a computer tech, I got the tablet so that I could put manuals on it instead of lugging my laptop around but sometimes you need an internet connection and a lot of places don't allow outside folks to tap their wireless network.
Thanks in advance. And just an FYI - the tablet is rooted and running ICS.
Search for an app called FoxFi in the Market. I installed it on my Droid X (stock, unrooted) and it works great for tethering my Transformer Prime. Maybe it will work for your device/rom as well.
I had problems getting it to work initially. I had to reboot my phone and turn off wi-fi first before it worked.
This app can tether via wi-fi or bluetooth. I have only tested wi-fi.
As far as USB tethering between two Android devices, I've never tried it. PdaNet 3.02 may be capable of doing this, but I don't really know.
Hope this helps.
Hi I recently restored my s3 to factory reset but after that I am not able to connect any devices (phones or laptop )with wifi tethering
Prior to reset it was working fine. I have not rooted my phone.
Do I have to reset it again? Any other possible solutions?
Can you explain it in more detail? If using hotspot, are your phone close enough with the device you want to paired? Did you try bluetooth or usb tethering? Did your phone have data connection?
Having major issues with tethering on my SGS3 aswell.
When I recieved the phone, stock out of the box, I was unable to get tethering working, it worked for 10-60mins then automatically turned off.
I rooted the phone, and tried various tethering apps, and finally (after a couple of days) managed getting FoxFi to give me a stable tether.
Now I've installed the latest FW, and Im back to square 1 (or even further back), FoxFi puts up an access point, but after being connected 10-60mins, tethering stops working, and the connection dissapears from the list on my computer. FoxFi still reports it's running, so I have to turn it off, then back on to get another 10-60 minutes.
Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep: Always
Build Number: IMM76D.I9300XXBLH3
Android Version: 4.0.4
Considering trying Cyanogenmod, but I really like the stock room and wish to stay on it.
USB tethering is out of the question, as I use it for Xbox360, PS3, talet etc.
For those wondering, usually having 10/8 mbps @ 80ping, limited to 20GB traffic a month, aint that bad tbh.
Might just gotta get me a proper and wired internet connection instead.
Anyone got any idea what so ever what might cause this? Ill be more than willing to post logs etc, just tell me how.
One more thing, some of the tethering apps gives Ad Hoc error, FoxFi the only I've not getting this error on (of those Ive tried atleast).
